Down three with 13 seconds remaining regulation, fifth-year senior Kelsey Hatcher drained a huge three-pointer to tie the back-and-forth game and send it into overtime. Arkansas moves to 2-0 on the year while Tulsa falls to 0-3 on the season.

“It was a designed play,” Arkansas head coach Tom Collen said. “The ball came out to her, she dribbled and made a defender fly by her, stepped back and hit it. It’s great to see her have that success after all of her hard work.”

As the physical game moved into overtime, it was Tulsa who scored first but Arkansas rallied to again tie the contest at 54. Tulsa stole the ball and their leading scorer, Taleya Mayberry, raced down the court but missed an open layup that seemed to knock the wind out of the home team’s sails.

Mayberry, the daughter of Arkansas great Lee Mayberry, finished with a game-best 20 points.

Arkansas rebounded the miss and Quistelle Williams was fouled. The Grand Rapids, Mich., native hit both giving Arkansas a 56-54 lead they would not surrender. Williams finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Senior Sarah Watkins had a quiet 14 points and five boards, while Hatcher and sophomore Calli Berna had eight each in the win.

Arkansas opened strong jumping out to an 11-2 lead at the first media timeout. The balanced early game scoring was led by Watkins with four points in the opening minutes.

The Golden Hurricane fought back and closed the gap to two points, 20-18 at the 5:32 mark, but Peak caught fire and scored eight points and pulled in four rebounds stretching the Arkansas lead to 28-18 with under five to play in the half.

The Razorbacks, however, hit a scoring wall and were unable to put the ball in the hoop in the final 4:02 of the period while Tulsa went on a 10-0 run to tie the game at 28 at the break. Tulsa hit four of its last six shots in the half paced by Mayberry, who had 15 at the break.

The Lady Razorbacks season continues Monday at Oral Roberts, followed by a week-long trip to Hawaii, where Arkansas faces Oklahoma, Oregon and the host Rainbow Warriors.
